Throughout it all, Fowler has remained quiet in public, save for some light commentary on Twitter. The former Uber engineer, who now edits a technical publication for the payments company Stripe, gave her first interview since hitting publish on Feb. 19 to Maureen Dowd at the New York Times.

“I didn’t really care if they branded me a troublemaker because I hadn’t gotten that far in my life and overcome all these things to get treated inappropriately," Fowler told the Times about Uber.

"I wasn’t going to take it. I’d worked so hard. I deserved so much better. And I was, like, ‘No. That’s not OK. You don’t get to do that.’”

The profile describes Fowler's background as a self-taught physics student who was homeschooled in Arizona. Fowler is now seven months pregnant and is developing a movie about her experiences at Uber, the story noted.

Verge, the agency she's working with on the movie, describes the project as: Erin Brockovich meets The Social Network.

After she first blew the whistle on Uber's corporate culture, Fowler hired private security. She also suspected Uber of hiring private investigators once friends started getting calls.

Now, she's looking forward to having a baby girl and can't imagine any turn of events that would persuade her to return to Uber.
